India,Pakistan agree to resolve issues related to treatment of diplomats in line with 1992 Code of Conduct

India and Pakistan have mutually agreed to resolve matters related to the treatment of diplomats and diplomatic premises. 

In statements issued last evening by both foreign ministries, they said, India and Pakistan have mutually agreed to resolve matters related to the treatment of diplomats and diplomatic premises, in line with the 1992 'Code of Conduct' for treatment of Diplomatic or Consular personnel in India and Pakistan. 

The Code provides for "smooth and unhindered functioning" of the diplomatic and consular officials of



the two countries in conformity with the international laws without violating their privileges and immunities. 

The Code also says that the two countries should not resort to intrusive and aggressive surveillance and actions such as verbal and physical harassment, disconnection of phone lines and et cetera.

Earlier this month, India had asked Pakistan to ensure safety and security of its officials working at the Indian mission in Islamabad, saying they continue to face harassment and intimidation.
